About Me
I have enjoyed teaching ever since my time as a student at the University of Athens. This passion was further developed during my Erasmus+ Traineeship as a teacher of Greek as a second language, and while earning my Master's degree in Linguistics at Leiden University.By sharing my knowledge and expertise, I aim to broaden my students' horizons and encourage them to explore new linguistic domains in life, with a focus on language learning.
In addition to teaching, I also have a keen interest in studying humorous elements in Greek texts from a linguistic perspective. Get ready to explore humorous representations of Greek daily life through memes and funny videos in my class.
Aside from work, I also enjoy watching anime, reading manga, and staying active. I encourage students to discuss these topics in Greek during our classes, as it's a great way for us to get to know each other better and have more engaging discussions!

I have already had my first lesson with Nikos and he really is a good teacher. He was very attentive to my goals and to my way of learning, asking me several times if I were enjoying. Of course, I'll continue learning with him.
This course aims to provide students with a comprehensive understanding of the modern Greek language and culture. Throughout the course, we will focus on developing listening, reading, writing, and speaking skills, using contemporary Greek culture as a reference. Various homework exercises will be assigned to assess students' progress, with particular emphasis on grammar, syntax, and spelling. The goal is to help students expand their vocabulary and effectively use it to construct grammatically accurate phrases and sentences.
To accommodate diverse learning styles, we will explore different teaching methods, such as listening to songs, watching YouTube videos and listening to Spotify podcasts, reading excerpts from Greek texts, and utilizing online teaching tools like Mentimeter and Quizlet. The aim is to cater to the unique needs of each student and make the learning experience engaging and enjoyable. Regardless of your background, I am here to guide you through this captivating linguistic and cultural journey into the Greek language and culture.

Spanish online lessons with native spanish teacher for adults and teenagersI am a native Spanish speaker and a general language enthusiast. In addition to Spanish, I speak German and English. I am 100% confident that I will successfully teach you Spanish (while having fun and relaxing)!
I've been teaching spanish for 15 years. I am 41 years old, graduated with honors from the University of Salamanca. My main goal in teaching is to make students feel relaxed and comfortable while studying.
Do you already know Spanish? No problem! Rather than building the basics, we can design courses to suit your personal needs and preferences. We can write essays together, you can give presentations on topics that interest you or that I present to you, we can discuss current events, engage in debates, you can write summaries of newspaper articles, or we can delve into advanced grammar. Whatever you enjoy and need, we can do it together.
All my courses combine speaking, listening and grammar practice in interaction with me. Unless you are a very advanced student, we work with learning materials created by some of the best language learning publishers in Germany. These materials serve as a common thread for our course, introducing new words, grammar and exercises at a good pace and in an interesting way, keeping you engaged and motivated. I also show you German food, music and places. In addition, I will introduce you to the best technological tools (homepages and applications) to boost your language learning and take it to the next level.
Another important factor for me is the personal connection. We usually start our lessons with how the weekend or previous weekdays were like.
Contact me now to arrange a first lesson in which we can get to know each other so that I can learn more about you, your needs and desires and thus design the optimal course for you.
